Weber Genesis 6611001 E-310 Review

Weber Genesis 6611001 E-310 is for many people forking out $700 on a gas grill would sound like madness when there are much cheaper models available. This is certainly applicable in the case of this beautifully constructed gas grill.

Is it worth the investment? Are there any pitfalls that could be a deal breaker? Let’s discuss the Weber Genesis 6611001 E-310.

Heat distribution is where the Genesis models shine, and the E-310 is no exception. You must know that cheaper brands that have a lot more BTU, is useless if it’s not spread evenly across the cooking surface.

I’m just going to do a quick run through the main features of the product.

The instructions are easy to follow, and everything has its place. Assembly should take between one and two hours. It’s a little time-consuming, but not difficult by any standards.

Heating up.

Let’s see if all these features add up to a high-quality, useful grill that is worth the price tag.

You can understand why once you open it and inspect the parts. Thick stainless steel. If you’ve ever owned a cheap made in China grill, the Weber will seem strong.

One small drawback perhaps is that the flavored bars are not stainless and porcelain-enameled steel. Still, they’re easily replaced and not expensive, plus Weber covers them with a 2-year warranty.

Well, it turns out BTU isn’t everything if you have the design quality right, although a little extra oomph wouldn’t have gone amiss.

With the Weber Genesis 6611001 E-310, there are no such issues. There aren’t cold spots, and you can control the heat distribution beautifully from the front control panel. Once you start doing some research, the even cooking is also one of the most frequently highlighted perks of the Genesis series.

Assembly

All the parts fit together well. I ‘d recommend you use a socket wrench as the included tool is not quite up to the task. But it makes sense to do a proper assembly right from the start if you have loads of patience you can probably get by, though.

The Genesis 6611001 E-310 gets to 500+ degree heat in 10-15 minutes, which is decent enough. You can cook using both the indirect and direct method on this grill. Don’t expect consistent 600 degree plus temperatures with this grill.

Who Is It For?

“We’ve had our Genesis for six months now, and I’m consistently pleased with it. I purchased it knowing that it was very well built, quality grill and I haven’t been disappointed.” Michael Chiodo (Amazon.com).

— you want a grill that can comfortably cook for a family or moderate social gathering.
— or you want a grill that will likely last you for the next decade.
— if you don’t need a dedicated searing burner or side burner.

Weber Genesis 6611001 E-310 Review Conclusion

You can cook using both the indirect and direct method on this grill. Great size for a family with enough space to cook for more if needed. It is plenty hot enough for steaks, but if you want to push the envelope and cook at 650+ degree heats, this grill will fall short of your expectations.

Here are just a few comments from current owners of the Weber Genesis.

If you don’t need the searing burner or side burner that you get with the E-330 model, the Weber Genesis E-310 is the best value in the Genesis range. It has a very efficient heat design and cooks perfectly. It is plenty hot enough for steaks, but if you want to push the envelope and cook at 650+ degree temperatures, this grill will fall short of your expectations.

The Genesis series grills are the most durable and best-designed gas grills you can buy at this price point.

Overall, this grill is well made, beautifully designed, built to last and it cooks like a champ.
